Your average politician from europe would seem pretty toxic on a number of issues both seen as too conservative and too liberal. |
As I said, the political systems are not really comparable.
To the debt: according to german Wikipedia Spain had 2011 a overall debt of 68.5% of it's GDP. Germany had 81.2%. Also Spain had 15,715€ per inhabitant, germany 25,339€. I don't think it shifts too much in 2012.
